Foire aux Vieilleries de Crissay-sur-Manse

120 exhibitors in a listed medieval village

The Foire aux Vieilleries of Crissay-sur-Manse brings together around 120 exhibitors - professionals and individuals - every May over nearly 2 kilometers in the alleys and squares of this medieval village. The offer is eclectic and attractive: antique furniture, earthenware, trinkets, tools, books, linens, curiosities and unusual objects find their place between the tuffeau houses with turrets and the sculpted facades. The atmosphere is both festive and authentic, with refreshments and food available on site.

Crissay-sur-Manse, one of the most beautiful villages in Touraine

Crissay-sur-Manse is a village of about 100 inhabitants nestled in the Mance valley, a tributary of the Vienne, south of Indre-et-Loire. Classified among the candidates for the most beautiful villages in France and often cited as one of the most beautiful in Touraine, it preserves a remarkable ensemble of medieval and Renaissance architecture: houses with turrets, sculpted facades, a 15th-century castle and a Romanesque church. This exceptional setting makes the Foire aux Vieilleries a unique event where built heritage dialogues with antique objects.

A tradition of over 25 years

The Foire aux Vieilleries has existed for over twenty-five years and has established itself as a must-attend event for bargain hunters in the region. Garden swapping sometimes complements the program. Access to the village is possible via departmental roads from L'Île-Bouchard or Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine.
